Why FSF Endorsing PureOS Matters

It is better to keep unrelated issues separate. The alleged FSFE issue you mention has little to do with trusting the FSF to accurately evaluate a free software stack.

If anything, slightly grumpy old school guys (again, alleged) are much better at rejecting corporate influence than the new people whose politics are literally bankrolled by corporations.

I'm not associated with FSF specifically, but as a card-carrying grumpy old-schooler, I object to your vaguely-defamatory characterization of them[0] as "slightly" and "alleged".

Edit: 0: RMS et al, that is, not the business linux people.

That's a false dichotomy. There are plenty of non-grumpy people who are good at rejecting corporate influence. I know of hundreds.
